Manama: Prime Minister Narendra Modi late on Saturday was conferred with "The King Hamad Order of the Renaissance" during his meeting with King of Bahrain Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa on various bilateral and regional issues. This is the first time when an Indian Prime Minister has visited the Gulf nation.

"I humbly accept The King Hamad Order of the Renaissance. This is a recognition of India's strong friendship with Bahrain, which goes back hundreds of years and is expanding rapidly in the 21st century," Modi said in a tweet after receiving the award.

On his meet with Bahrain King PM Modi said that he had a "wonderful" talk where he "reviewed the complete range of India-Bahrain relations and we look forward to increased cooperation for the mutual benefit of our citizens."

"Ties built on deep civilizational linkages. Prime Minister Narendra Modi was warmly received by HM King of Bahrain Hamad bin Isa bin Salman Al Khalifa at the Al Gudaibiya Palace. Both leaders exchanged views on all matters of mutual interest," External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said in a tweet.

New Delhi and Manama agreed to collaborate in the areas of space technology, solar energy and culture exchange, giving a major boost to the entire spectrum of bilateral relations between the two nations. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and Bahrain's National Space Science Agency agreed to collaborate in the area of space technology.

Furthermore, the two sides agreed on collaboration under Internal Solar Alliance (ISA) - which was launched by PM Modi and then French President Francois Hollande at the UN Climate Change Conference in Paris. ISA is a major global initiative for contributing to the implementation of the Paris Climate Agreement.

PM Modi is on the third leg of his three-nation tour to France, UAE, and Bahrain. Now, he's scheduled to return to France to attend the G7 Summit meeting. Interestingly, during his visit to UAE, PM Modi was conferred with the 'Order of Zayed', the UAE's highest civilian award as appreciation for his efforts to boost bilateral ties between the two nations.
